• The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
by Stephen R.Covey
(source: Stephen R Covey: The 8th Habits)
7 HABITS
• Habit 1Be proactive. (Mengambil tanggungjawab)
(Take responsibility for your life)
This refers to the taking of responsibility to
make things happen.
Mengikut Covey..
Proactive people
• Know what they stand for and have a strong set of value
• Listen to their “better selves”
• Realize they have choices and take responsibility for their choices
• Bounce back when something bad happens in their lives
• Always look at all options
• Focus on things they can do something about, and don‟t worry about the other things
Proactive language
• “ I choose to go”
• “I will decide how to deal with this”
• “I am responsible”
• “I can”
• “Let‟s look at all the option”
Mengikut Covey
Proactive people exercise four endowments:
1. Self-awareness (kesedaran)
Thoughts, moods, and behaviors
2. Imigination (imiginasi)
Visualizing beyond experience and present reality
3. Conscience (suara hati)
Understanding right and wrong, and following personal integrity
4. Independent will (pilihan bebas)
Acting independent of external influence
• Habit 2
Begin with the end in mind.
(Define your purpose and mission in life)
Start with a clear picture of where we are going
and what the destination will look like.
Encourages individuals live with
vision,mission and purpose.
CONTINUES….
• Habit 3Put first things first.
– (Prioritize and do the most important things first)
– The principle is based upon two factors--importance and urgency.
• Urgent – An activity that requires immediate attention
• Important – An activity that is valuable and that contributes to mission, values, and high priority goals
• Habit 4Think win-win.
-(Have an everyone-can-win-attitude)

Continues….
• Habit 5– Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
– (Listen to people sincerely)
– One key to effective interpersonal communications is to listen with the intent to understand. Goes beyond developing good communication skills to developing an attitude of seeking to understand
• Habit 6– Synergize.
– (Work together to achieve more)
– The whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Help to promote trust, teamwork, and celebrate the differences among all players
Continues…..

– Sharpen the saw.
– (Renew yourself regularly to achieve work/life
balance)
– Enhance personal abilities. Explores the four
aspects of our nature: Physical, Mental,
Social/Emotional and Spiritual
– Practicing habit 7 will increase effectiveness
in all the other habits
• The four dimensions
1. Physical dimension (kesihatan)
We built physical wellness through proper nutrition, exercice, rest, and stress management
2. Mental dimension (ilmu)
We increase mental capacity through reading, writing and thinking
3. Spiritual dimension (ketuhanan/ibadah)
We develop spiritual through reading inspiring literature, through meditating and praying, and through spending time with nature
4. Social/emotional dimension (perhubungan dengan orang lain)
We mature socially and emotionally by making consistent, daily deposits in the emotional bank account of our key relationships
Habit 8
– From Effectiveness to Greatness
– To thrive, innovate, excel, and lead in this
new reality, we must reach beyond
effectiveness toward fulfillment, contribution,
and greatness.
ISLAM
• “Each of you is a leader, and each of you
will be held accountable for his leadership”
The Prophet Muhammad, SAW
In Islam
• Leadership is a “trust”
(“amanah”)
• and with trust comes
• “responsibility” (taklif) and
• “accountability”(mas’uliyyah).
• The following questions are relevant
for every leader:
• What is the nature of the trust?
• What does it take to fulfil trust?
• To whom would the person be held
accountable ?
•Wisdom - kewibawaan
- kebijaksanaan
• Courage - keberanian
• Temperance -kesederhanaan
• Justice - keadilan
• In man it s excellence of discernment;
discretion; intelligence, penetration of idea;
correctness of opinion, quickness of
understanding; clarity of mind; ease in
learning; sagacity; eloquence; firmness of
opinion; determination; truthfulness;
faithfulness; amity; mercy; and awareness
of the subtle actions of the soul
Wisdom (hikmah)
• The faculty of reason is sound, the person can distinguish between true and false in statements, between right and wrong in beliefs, and between good and evil in actions.
• If the faculty of reason is at the extreme of excess, i.e. used in “fulfilling the wrong motives”, the vice of wickedness is produced. At the extreme of deficiency, the vice of stupidity is generated.
Courage (shaja‟ah)
• It is the greatness of soul; nobility;
magnificence; intrepidity; bravery,
patience; self-possession; composure;
manliness; gentleness; fortitude;
endurance; pardon; amiability;
forgiveness; open-handedness; keeping
secret; and correct evaluation of the self.
• The virtue of courage appears with the
soundness of the faculty of anger; i.e
when it obeys the dictates of reason
and the religion in its arousal and
appeasement. At the extreme of excess
the vice of rashness appears. At the
extreme of deficiency, the vice of
cowardice exists in the soul
Temperance (iffah) (moderation or
self-restraint• It is abstention from what is unlawful and base.
It is the mean between extremes of excess and deficiency: i.e. self-indulgence, exceeding in the right limits of reason; and insensibility, failing to desire what reason recommends.
•The virtue of temperance is achieved when the faculty of desire yield to reason and the teaching of religion. At its excess, desire produces the vice of greed , while its deficiency causes the annihilation of desire.
Justice („adalah)
• It is a condition of things and beings being in their rightful and proper places. It is order bringing about harmony in the soul, in the state, in nature.
• Wisdom is the knowledge of the limits. Justice is based upon wisdom. There are no extremes of justice. It has only its opposite which is injustice, whether as a ondition or an act.
The Root Vices Destructive to
Leadership
• Lying,
• Breaking Promise
• Betraying Trust
• “There are three things, which, if a man
practices secretly, he is a hypocrite, even though
he fasts and performs the worship: if he relates
something, he lies; if, when he makes a promise,
he breaks it; and if, when he is given a trust, he
betrays it. “
• (Saying of the Prophet PBUH, in Bukhari
and Muslim)
Envy (hasad)
• Envy is a great vice. It is worse than rancour, and even regarded as one of the three vices which “are both destructive to themselves and the roots of all other evil dispositions.”
• Envy is a state of mind in which a man is pained when another person obtains any good, and he wants that good taken away from him even though he himself will not obtain any advantage from his removal. This leads to the vice of pleasure in another‟s misfortune.
Avarice (bukhl)(extreme greed for
money)
• To keep wealth when it should be spent is avarice and to spend it when it should be kept is extravagance. Between these two extremes is the mean which is the virtue of generosity.
• In avarice the soul is much more attached to wealth than to extravagance.
• The cause of avarice is love of wealth:
• natural inclination to satisfy desires, which is facilitated by wealth; the hope of living a long life; fear of poverty for one‟s children; some people love wealth for its own sake.
